operating notes

• Computers should still feel magical.
• Curiosity matters more than optimization.
• Hype scales faster than trust.
• Every abstraction leaks eventually.
• Build tools that increase agency.
• People deserve to understand the systems shaping their lives.
• The internet should help people find themselves — and each other.
• Build brilliant things. Keep them human.
